“Not, how did they die, but how did they live?

Not, what did they gain, but what did they give?

These are the units to measure the worth

Of a person as a person, regardless of birth.

Not, what was their church, nor what was their creed?

But had they befriended those really in need?

Were they ever ready, with a word of good cheer,

To bring back a smile, to banish a tear?

Not, what did the sketch in the newspaper say,

But how many were sorry when they passed away?”

Friends will be received on Saturday, April 27th, 2024 from 2-4 p.m. and 6 p.m. until the time of closing prayers at 8 p.m. in the GABAUER-LUTTON FUNERAL HOME – 117 Blackhawk Road, Chippewa Township.

Previously Convicted Clinton Resident Pleads Guilty to Possession of Child Sexual Abuse Material

(File Photo of Federal Courthouse in Pittsburgh)

(PITTSBURGH, Pa.)  A former resident of Clinton, Pennsylvania, pleaded guilty in federal court to a charge of possessing material depicting the sexual exploitation of a minor, United States Attorney Eric G. Olshan announced today.
Roderick T. Long, 59, pleaded guilty to one count before United States District Judge J.
Nicholas Ranjan.
In connection with the guilty plea, the Court was advised that, on March 9, 2020, Long,
who had previously served a 121-month federal sentence of imprisonment for receiving material depicting the sexual exploitation of a minor, was found in possession of more than 500 videos and still images in computer graphics and digital files depicting the sexual exploitation of minors, many of whom had not attained the age of 12 years. The Pennsylvania State Police had obtained a search warrant for Long’s home, where they found the sexually exploitive material saved in his laptop
computer and cellular telephone.
Judge Ranjan scheduled sentencing for August 8, 2024. The law provides for a maximum total sentence of not less than 10 years and up to 20 years in prison, a fine of $250,000, or both. Under the federal Sentencing Guidelines, the actual sentence imposed is based upon the seriousness of the offense and the prior criminal history of the defendant.
Pending sentencing, the Court ordered that Long remain in custody.
Assistant United States Attorney Carolyn J. Bloch is prosecuting this case on behalf of the government.
The Pennsylvania State Police conducted the investigation that led to the prosecution of Long.
